A favorite image by YDR photographer Kate Penn in 2012: ‘The York City Police Departmental Awards Ceremony is a pretty long and dry affair,’ she wrote. ‘Commendations are read aloud word for word to a roomful of people still waking up. Any photo consisting of more than a handshake would be a gem from this event. When I spotted Ty fooling around in his father’s hat I knew I had a photograph. I took a few frames where I was then slowly moved to a better position getting a few more shots in before he spotted me and the moment was gone.’ For more, check out the Look blog.
